Hey guys, I just got TYC headlights and decided to put HIDs in the projectors, there was a guy that did that here and the product wasnt that bad. Well heres the problem, can anyone guide me on how to do this? Also, can anyone identify the bulbs used, obviously there not H4-ish. Thanks






The socket


The plug


And the mystery bulbs

 

info

 

i believe those things are like h1's or h3's

 

Your best bet is to get some actual HID projectors and retrofit them into those housings.

 

bump!

Those are HID projectors...I think, its not just a shield like the 99-00 H4 housings

 

Those are H1 bulbs.
I'm not sure if all TYC headlights glass parts are plastic, because the ones the for 92-95 civic is Plastic instead of glass...so i'm not sure if it's good for baking the headlights...Anyone retrofit HID projectors in TYC headlight housing before?

 

Those aren't HID projectors. If they were they would have HID bulbs/capsules not H1's. And I agree, you should retro them. I've seen plenty of people retro the TYC headlights so baking them isn't a problem. Most headlights are plastic anyway.

those are not hid projectors. those are halogen projectors. there is a shield if you look inside it. It just doesn't look like a shield from your stock car, because your car runs "reflector" shield. projectors runs a upsidedown blocking shield. Plus your bulbs are H1 halogen bulbs. If they were hid projectors, then you would have had D2S.

D2s = projector hid bulbs
D2r = reflector hid bulbs

O yyyeeaaa, I remember reading about that on HIDPlanet, now it makes sense, can't believe I forgot about that. Thanks for the help guys.

So these projectors are like the projectors in the generation 3 integras?

That's what it would look like if I just put in a HID Kit in the TYC projectors

Not a good idea with those cheap headlights. Might start a fire.

 

TYC is OEM replacement

actualy if you want to go with hid, tyc projectors are pretty much what you need to start with. Also hid uses less power and puts out less heat. So how is this fire gonna get started?

I'm gonna do a test and put an hid kit in my tyc projectors soon. I have heard and seen both good and bad results. If it looks good I will leave it. If not I will throw them into my high beams where it really doesn't matter as much.

 

That is an H3 bulb, found mostly in fog lights.

 

hhahah try checking those tyc on ebay they sell a nicer setup looks just like your headlight you have butttttt they come with different projectors and have phillips d2s 4300k hid lights already mounted ready to go and install.....
